If i actually understod the above, i probably would be able to figure it out, however, english is not my native language and allso i suspect it is'nt yours either, as i understand the english language pretty well and the above still does'nt make any sence what so ever.

How was my spelling?

If I recall, you're 16? I think you wrote that in a post somewhere about law or something...

This would be it.

ok, now that it is revealed!
if you took 16 of smaller bites
if you took 16 of smaller bytes
if you took 16 bits

then the brain it uses
then the cpu it uses
is most likely older
Either that, or it is a small
and portable of small animal like
and portable of small device like

Don't worry, it doesn't make much sense even to someone who's native tongue is English. :wink:

My native language is Slovak and I can understand fully Czech (100%) and some poor Polish (25%) without any knowledge of foreign languages. ;)

As long I am not learning English in school, but from the movies (with subtitles), computer games, etc. - I am learning German in school - what grammatical errors do you obviously find in "my" English language?

Thanks for your response (I know its off topic but this is in General Ramblings, no?)

@inflater : Dobry vecer, co je nove? :D.

It's everything I know in Slovak, and Polish is my native language ;)... I've got a friend from Czech Republic, I can't speak Czech and he can't speak Polish, though we understand each other ;).

Continuing off-topic ... :D

And Suddenly i wished it was possible to copyright the name of a language. If your going to use our language at least use the right term. You speak English; a very terrible version of English i admit but Americanised English is not a seperate language.
